on a par with this, an interesting case has just gone through the judicial system in the states....

mother and her children cross the road at the wrong place, one child killed and she is found guilty and sentenced according to the laws
had Mr Paralysed biker killed one of the girls would be pursue the claim on the other one or had he killed both girls would he have filed a claim against the families of the deceased girls.. just playing devils advocate and all that
